This experiment was carried out to isolate the partial bovine (Bos Taurus coreanae) myogenic factor encoding gene, MyoD, using the rat myogenic factor (MyoD) gene sequence and to compare the gene sequence between another myogenic factor (Myf 5) and MyoD gene of the bovine. To make the probe and isolate the MyoD gene, PCR was performed to amplify rat and bovine MyoD gene including exon I, II and intron I. The homology between mouse and bovine MyoD is high; bovine MyoD gene shows 17 different gene sequence region compared to rat MyoD. Among those, two regions have significant differences; one is the exon I part between 2834 and 2850 bp, the other is intron part between 3274 and 3303 bp of the mouse. At this region homology was 40% in the former and 50% in the latter. Homology between bovine MyoD and Myf5 was 83% in the exon 1. Especially exon I in the Myf5 602-617 bp and 651-683 bp have significant differences. These results suggest that MyoD gene have a similar gene structure in mouse and bovine and MyoD and Myf5 of the bovine, at least in part, have a similar expression and activity.

Let $Y{\subset}{\mathbb{P}}^3$ be a degree d reduced curve with only planar singularities. We prove that $h^i({\mathcal{I}}_Y(t))=0$, i = 1, 2, for all $t{\geq}d-2$. We use this result and linkage to construct some triples (d, g, s), $d>s^2$, with very large g for which there is a smooth and connected curve of degree d and genus g, $h^0({\mathcal{I}}_C(s))=1$ and describe the Hartshorne-Rao module of C.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of chicken egg containing IgY against H. pylori in patients with gastritis. Sixty three H. pylori-infected volunteers (20∼43 year, Male Female=49 : 14) were randomized into four groups which were treated with one chicken egg containing IgY b.i.d. (IgY group; n=17) or omeprazole 20 mg b.i.d., amoxicillin 1.0 g b.i.d. and clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d. (OAC group; n=17) or omeprazole 20 mg b.i.d., amoxicillin 1.0 g b.i.d., clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d. and one chicken egg containing IgY b.i.d. (OAC with IgY group; n=16) for 2 weeks or lyophilized IgY 1 g b.i.d (lyophilized IgY group) for 1 month. $\Delta$$^{13}$ $CO_2$ before and after treatment, the eradication rate of H. pylori and histologic change including H. pylori density, acute and chronic inflammation activity, intestinal metaplasia and glandular atrophy by updated sydney system were evaluated. Eradication rate of OAC with IgY group (94%) was higher than IgY group (0%), lyophilized IgY group (0%) and OAC group (88%). $\Delta$$^{13}$ $CO_2$at 2 weeks after treatment in one patient of IgY group was decreased. But that was not changed in the other patients. $\Delta$$^{13}$ $CO_2$ at 1 week after treatment in 15 patients of OAC with IgY group was significantly lower than pretreatment level (p<0.05), and $\Delta$$^{13}$ $CO_2$ at 1 week and 2 week after treatment was decreased in the other patient. Acute inflammation activity at antrum was significantly decreased after treatment in IgY and lyophilized IgY group (p<0.01), H. pylori density at antrum was significantly decreased after treatment in IgY and lyophilized IgY group (p<0.05). Chronic inflammation activity at body was decreased after treatment in lyophilized IgY group. Intestinal metaplasia and glandular atrophy at antrum and body were not changed after treatment in IgY group. Mild intestinal metaplasia in one patient of lyophilized IgY group changed to normal after 1 month treatment. Gandular atrophy at antrum and body were not changed after treatment in lyophilized IgY group.

Polypeptide growth factor belong to a class of potent biologic mediator which regulate cell differentiation, proliferation, migration and metabolism. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ decrease cell proliferation, and stimulate alkaline phosphatase activity which express in osteoblast during cell differentiation period. IGF-I is known to stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation too. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ is known to increase IGF-I binding sites and IGF binding protein which inhibite the effect of IGF. The purpose of this study is to evaluate potential role of IGF-I as mediator that control the action of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$. MC3T3-E1 cell were seeded $5{\times}10^5/ml$ at 100mm culture plate in ${\alpha}-MEM$ containing 10% fetal bovine serum. After 48 hour incubation period, medium were changed ${\alpha}-MEM$ containing 5% fetal bovine serum. After 24 hours, $10^{-9}M$ 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ added. Total mRNA was extracted at 0, 6, 24, 48, 72 hour. PRPCR method was programed for the detection of IGF-I mRNA. In the both groups of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin $D_3$ treated and control, alternative splicing form of IGF-I, IGF-IA and IGF-IB were expressed. In the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ treated group, IGF-I mRNA expression was matained until 24 hour, there after expression was decresed. MC3T3-E1 cell were seeded $2.5{\times}10^4/ml$ at 24well plate in ${\alpha}-MEM$ containing 10% fetal bovine serum. After 48 hour incubation period, medium were changed ${\alpha}-MEM$ containing 3% fetal bovine serum. After 24 hours, $10^{-9}M$ 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ and 10 ng/ml IGF-I were added separately or together. Cell were cultured for 1 and 3 days, $2{\mu}Ci/ml\;[^3H]$ -thymidine was added for the last 24h of culture of each days. ${[^3H]}$-thymidine incorporation in to DNA was measured and expressed counter per minute(CPM). DNA synthetic activity was significantly decreased by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ both at 1 day and 3 day, and in the combination group of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ and IGF-I, DNA synthetic activity was also decreased both at 1 day and 3 days. IGF-I did not affect the DNA synthetic activity compared to control group both at 1 day and 3 day. From the above results, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ was potent inhibitor of cell proliferaton in MC3T3-E1 cells. It assumed that the effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ on osteoblast proliferation may be mediated in part by decreased level of IGF-I.

Let $R = k[y_1,\cdots,y_n] \otimes E[x_1, \cdots, x_n]$ with characteristic $k = p > 2$ (odd prime), where $$\mid$y_i$\mid$ = 2, $\mid$x_i$\mid$ = 1$ and $y_i = \betax_i, \beta$ is the Bockstein homomorphism. Topologically, $R = H^*(B(Z/p)^n,k)$. For a symmetric group $\sum_n, R^{\sum_n} = k[\sigma_1,\cdots,\sigma_n] \otimes E[d\sigma_1, \cdots, d\sigma_n]$ where d is the derivation satisfying $d(y_i) = x_i$ and $d(x_iy_i) = x_iy_i + x_jy_i, 1 \leq i, j \leq n$. We give a direct proof of this theorem by using induction.

The possible roles of spinal histamine receptors in the regulation of the blood glucose level were studied in ICR mice. Mice were intrathecally (i.t.) treated with histamine 1 (H1) receptor agonist (2-pyridylethylamine) or antagonist (cetirizine), histamine 2 (H2) receptor agonist (dimaprit) or antagonist (ranitidine), histamine 3 (H3) receptor agonist (${\alpha}$-methylhistamine) or antagonist (carcinine) and histamine 4 (H4) receptor agonist (VUF 8430) or antagonist (JNJ 7777120), and the blood glucose level was measured at 30, 60 and 120 min after i.t. administration. The i.t. injection with ${\alpha}$-methylhistamine, but not carcinine slightly caused an elevation of the blood glucose level. In addition, histamine H1, H2, and H4 receptor agonists and antagonists did not affect the blood glucose level. In D-glucose-fed model, i.t. pretreatment with cetirizine enhanced the blood glucose level, whereas 2-pyridylethylamine did not affect. The i.t. pretreatment with dimaprit, but not ranitidine, enhanced the blood glucose level in D-glucose-fed model. In addition, ${\alpha}$-methylhistamine, but not carcinine, slightly but significantly enhanced the blood glucose level D-glucose-fed model. Finally, i.t. pretreatment with JNJ 7777120, but not VUF 8430, slightly but significantly increased the blood glucose level. Although histamine receptors themselves located at the spinal cord do not exert any effect on the regulation of the blood glucose level, our results suggest that the activation of spinal histamine H2 receptors and the blockade of spinal histamine H1 or H3 receptors may play modulatory roles for up-regulation and down-regulation, respectively, of the blood glucose level in D-glucose fed model.

수소화된 비정질 탄소(a-C:H)는 그 증착 조건에 따라서 여러 가지 다른 구조와 특성을 갖게 되며, 특히 DLC(diamond-like carbon) 및 CNT(Carbon nanotube)는 FED (field emission display) 개발 면에서 중요하게 연구되고 있다. 우리는 a-C:H 박막을 PECVD (plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition) 방법으로 증착하고 CH4 가스를 사용하였고 기판 온도는 상온-32$0^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 변화되었다. 기판은 Corning 1737 glass, quartz, Si, Ni 등을 사용하였다. 증착 압력과 R.F. power는 각각 0.1-1 Torr 와 12-60w 사이에서 변화되었다. ESR 측정은 X-band(주파수 약 9 GHz)에서 그리고 상온에서 행해졌다. 상온에서의 스핀밀도는 약한-표준피치(weak-pitch standard) 스펙트럼과 비교하여 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 a-C:H 박막의 구조는 He-Ne laser(파장 632.8 nm)를 이용하는 micro-Raman spectroscopy로 분석하였다. 증착조건에 따른 스핀밀도의 변화 및 Raman 스펙트럼에서의 D-peak, G-peak의 위치 및 반치록, I(D)/I(G) 등을 조사하였다. 증착된 a-C:H 박막은 R.F.power가 증가할수록 대체로 스핀밀도가 증가하였으며, Raman 스펙트럼에서의 I(D)/I(G) 비율은 대체로 감소하였다. 증착된 박막들은 polymer-like Carbon으로 추정되었으며, 스핀밀도가 증가할수록 대체적으로 흑연 구조 영역이 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 glass나 Si 기판에 비해 Ni 기판위에서 polymer-like Carbon 구조는 향상되는 경향을 보였다.
